Tried using a torque wrench on every bolt for a full month

Last month at the shop in Denver I decided to torque every single bolt on every bike that came through. Brake calipers, stem bolts, derailleur hangers, the whole deal. Took way longer than my usual 'good and tight' method, but after 45 bikes I had zero come-backs for loose parts. Normally I get at least 2 or 3 complaints a month. Has anyone else tried this and stuck with it, or does the time cost drive you crazy?

Felt like a surgeon for a week until I realized I was just slow and paranoid.

Wait, you thought you were actually a surgeon?
